I will be forever grateful for that inheritance of faith and righteousness.David B.

How wonderful it was to mingle once again with their children and all the former and present members of the Parleys Sixth Ward. Patsy and I reminisced all night again about all the powerful lessons we learned by rubbing shoulders with all the stalwarts who lived in that ward when we were young parents. We have never forgotten and continue to cherish the examples of not just the Cannons, but also the "other" Cannons, the Gardiners, the Oklands, the Eldredges, the Warners, the Backmans, the Garffs, the Pugsleys, the Hendersons, the Jacobsens, and so many more. They left a long and fruitful legacy of faithfulness and we were their beneficiaries.David B.

I had the honor of receiving my blessing from George Cannon, and I felt the spirit so strongly as I entered his home. Truly a guided servant of the Lords. No coincidence, I am sure, that he was close to the Goates' family. How wonderful it was to have Di and Clark there with me who had a history with this great man. Thanks for sharing this experience. It does motivate me, however, to be to Stake Conference on time whenever a General Authority is going to be present :o)Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072441600300024058noreply@blogger.com
